How can the nurse be so confident that it's Aspergers?
6 months on a waiting list for an assessment for something she can do in 10 minutes – why is the waiting list so long then? Are they assessing the whole world?
It was a mental health nurse. She was supposed to be helping me. The help is 6 months away, apparently.
Just as well I decided depression is too boring for me. who can keep that crap up!
Self help all my life convinced me I could never be depressed.
I tried it once or twice but it was too boring for me-Such a waste of time.
When I feel crap about something, I give myself a good telling off and pull myself together again (yes I do talk myself-I give the best advice).
I can't talk about my feelings to other people. It's like my face just goes numb from nose down. All the thoughts and answers to people's questions still run through my head at the right time but my face won't move. Sometimes I will stammer if I try but I don't like that because I don't ordinarily have a stammer.
Its easier to say nothing, say I'm fine or just joke about something and quickly change the subject. One of those usually works.
It should come as no surprise then that my daughter is the same. I've tried so hard to make sure she doesn't turn out f'd in the head like me. I did all the things for her that my parents didn't do for me; all the things that I thought made me feel crap about myself. But as it turns out, I'm still a crap mum and my daughter if just as f'd in the head as I am. I hate CAMHS too.
I'd decided that if she's expected to speak to someone else even though she can't, I can hardly encourage her to if I haven't been able to do it yet myself. Hence a self-referral for that sort of thing.
The assessment did not go well. I suppose its difficult when the man sat asking you questions feels you're being vague. As far as I'm aware, I answered all his questions. Anyway, the scores on those questionnaires equated a stressed and depressed person. I had to say- I could see why it may look like that from the responses I've given but I don't feel stressed, or depressed.
Come to think of it, I don't feel anything.
Weeks of wasted time later and no movement on the self-referral, I had an awful thing happen at home. Someone broke in, had a good look round but took nothing.
My response to that was weird, I just locked myself away and couldn't think clearly at all. I was absolutely shattered. But most weirdly, I had really old work anxiety that just came back out of nowhere. Even though so much has changed since I originally felt this bad at work, the feelings were there again. They just came back.
Coming up to a week off work and not wanting to see my gp, I did what I always do-and got on with it, dragging myself through the last couple of weeks before the summer holidays.
That's when I actually fell apart. This is something else. I must have just pushed myself too far this time.
I ache all over, I want to cry but can't, I can't get myself sorted or think straight, I don't want to see or hear people, or do anything at all. But it's not all doom and gloom, I still have motivation to make sure my kids are OK.
The counselling waiting list is 8 weeks long so I phoned some work thing instead and explained a few bits. It was so much easier over the phone than face to face.
The conclusion was, I was too depressed for the short term intervention that they offer so need to go through the GP.
The chat was very useful. She said it'll take 16-18 weeks just to identify what my problems are!
The therapy starts after that.
I have suppressed my feelings for so long that I'm now numb and doing silly things just to feel something. Anything at all.
Privacy is important to me.
I have deep rooted problems.
She said all that not me.
Bloody self help. It fucked me up init!
How can one person be so many things?
These sum up most of the things I've been told about myself.
I'm not a perfectionist, perfection is subjective, I think it wasn't intended for man.
I'm fucked in the head. I have issues. A lifetime of denial and suppressed emotions have taught me to survive. I can't do this anymore. I need out of it. It needs fixing. I'm not suicidal-just confused. I'm thirty-something and I still don't know who I am. Thanks for joining me on my journey to working this out.

The Report Is In – America Needs History
By Ohio Local History Alliance Published July 1, 2013 Education, News, Uncategorized
In 2010, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences formed a commission to study the state of, and need for, humanities and social science education in the U.S. The Academy released the final report late last week. It's titled "The Heart of the Matter," and it's for lovers of and advocates for local history. According to the report, advancement in science and technology – subjects increasingly emphasized in schools, sometimes to the disadvantage of the humanities – is indeed crucial to our nation's continued prosperity. However, only a strong background in the humanities will give the next generation the skills they need to innovate, to participate constructively in their own government, and to lead in an increasingly interconnected world. Science and technology are the future of our society, but the humanities are the glue that holds that society together.
"The Heart of the Matter" is encouraging read, no doubt – its recommendations call for increased support for all humanities institutions, including museums and stewards of historical collections. The report not only asserts the value of history as an academic discipline, it touts the importance of museums in "sustaining strong communities" and extending learning outside of and beyond formal education. It calls for increased federal and public funding for the humanities, in particular to the National Endowment for the Humanities, which provides grants to museums and historical societies.
The report is more than just cause for hope, though. It proposes goals for humanities education – objectives meant to assure that humanities education in all its forms will provide our citizens with the skills they'll need in the 21st century – and invites all stakeholders to take part in discussing and meeting those goals. As a public historian, it was exciting to read through these goals and see the ways they connect to the work we do at the Heritage Center of Clark County. For example, it notes that our country's long-term success will rely not only on citizens trained for specific jobs, but also on "the development of professional flexibility and long-term qualities of mind," such as curiosity, critical analysis, and communication skills. These are all skills and abilities that the study of history, and historical museums in particular, are ready and able to teach. The report also points out that, in an international context, understanding of other cultures and sensitivity to various perspectives will be critical. The story of America is the story of different cultures meeting, clashing, and striving for harmony, and local history museums have been telling this story for decades.
Those are just a few of the report's inspiring and thought-provoking tidbits. Read the full report for yourself at the AAAS website.

Early Black Friday 'deals' abound, but actual bargains are scarce
Retailers such as Target Corp and Kohls Corp are slashing prices by as much as 50% on popular holiday gifts in early Black Friday deals aimed at increasingly frugal consumers - but the bargains aren't what they seem.
Discounts on toys are up this year compared to last, when supply-chain snarls made it difficult to get products on store shelves and consumers were flush with cash, according to e-commerce analytics firm DataWeave.
But, even with the steeper discounts, consumers still have to shell out more for popular products like a PJ Masks toy car or Mattel Inc's Mega Hauler semi-truck, because prices have risen faster than promotions, according to data provided by DataWeave.
Melissa Benhaim, a 32-year old publicist in Miami, started her holiday shopping slightly later than usual this year. "Even for a few purchases I've been planning to make for myself for a few months now, I'm waiting to see if I'll get a better deal around Black Friday or Cyber Monday," she said.
"I prefer to try clothes on rather than order online. I typically don't buy clothes as holiday gifts for others unless I know their size and style in a particular store."
Deeper discounts may be yet to come as sales at Target and Macy's Inc, major holiday shopping destinations, fell unexpectedly in October and November, executives said on conference calls this week.
Many shoppers are waiting until Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, and Cyber Monday, November 28, to pounce on potentially better deals as they pinch pennies, retail executives said on conference calls this week. A Saturday shopping day between Thanksgiving and Christmas this year gives shoppers extra time to hold out for better bargains.
Holiday shopping is expected to slow broadly.
"Customers at the lower tier ... they are purposefully shopping," said Jessica Ramirez, a research analyst at advisory firm Jane Hali & Associates LLC. "They buy when they're ready and when it's needed. We do expect to see more frequent store visits but smaller baskets."
Retailers including Kohl's and Foot Locker Inc have offered more generous deals compared to last year, according to a research note from Jane Hali.
Clothing is the only category this year that is cheaper than last when accounting for both discounts and changes in manufacturer's suggested price, according to DataWeave.
DataWeave found that sweatpants and Land's End joggers at Kohls, and jeans from outdoorsy chain Cabela's Inc, are as much as 30% cheaper than last year.
Ramirez added that shoppers may also opt for cosmetics and beauty purchases this year over pricier shoes. "It's an easier buy at a different price point," Ramirez said. "Make-up is another way to dress up without having to splurge."
A warning from Target that toy sales slowed down was "a little scary," said Joe Feldman, senior managing director at consumer-focused research firm Telsey Advisory Group. Discounts on toys and electronics were bigger globally every month so far this year except for January and February, according to separate data from Salesforce.com.
But toy prices, even with discounts, are up about 2.4%, DataWeave found.
The suggested price for a PJ Masks Glow & Go Gekko mobile car toy by Hasbro is $22.99, up nearly 10% from last year. Shoppers are paying $16.99 for the toy this year at Kohl's, after discounts, compared to $11.54 last year, according to DataWeave.
Retailers that hold off on competitive deals risk getting stuck with costly inventory - a dynamic that will likely lead to further discounts later this month and early next.
Early holiday deals have not been big enough yet for shoppers to "bite" and consumers are waiting to see the biggest discounts during Cyber Week, said Rob Garf, vice president of retail at Salesforce.
Hasbro's Nerf Gelfire, a toy gun that shoots gel beads, was on sale on Monday for $20 off the list price of $79.99 on Target.com. Action figures from Black Panther Wakanda Forever, also made by Hasbro, were also 30% off at Target.
Hasbro earmarks 70% of its advertising budget for October, November and December, said CEO Chris Cocks in an interview with Reuters this month.
"It's really heavily weighted in November, December," he said. "If you just think about the number of promotions we're going to have, the number of Black Friday deals, and advertising we're going to have, (it's going) to be significantly bigger this year (than) it's been in the last two years."
Mattel Chief Financial Officer Anthony DiSilvestro said on the company's third-quarter earnings call that the toymaker expects increased discounts and promotions that will squeeze its margins in the fourth quarter.
Mattel's 5-Barbie playset on Tuesday was discounted to $49.00 from $119.88 for Walmart.com shoppers, while its 18-piece fashion doll set was on clearance at buybuyBaby.com.
But broadly, prices on merchandise across many categories rose 14% in the United States and 8% globally compared to 2020, according to Salesforce.
Dwight Hill, vice president of retail North America at digital consultancy Publicis Sapient, said that consumers have long been trained to wait for the best deals and watch retailers "race to the bottom."

AAI signs MoU with ALIMCO to conduct cochlear implant surgeries
September 5, 2017 admin 0 Comment
Airport Authority of India and Artificial Limbs Manufacturing Corporation of India (ALIMCO) have signed a MoU on 4th September 2017 at Rajiv Gandhi Bhavan, AAI for Rs. 600.00 lakhs to conduct Cochlear Implant surgeries of 100 Hearing Impaired Children for FY 20-17-18 on PAN India basis to undertake Corporate Social Responsibility.
The above MoU was signed by Shri Sanjeev Jindal, GM (Engg-SR) & CSR – AAI & Shri Ajay Chaudhary, DGM (CSR), ALIMCO in august presence of Shri Guruprasad Mohapatra (IAS), Chairman –AAI and Shri D.R. Sarin, CMD, ALIMCO.
ALIMCO is a "Not for Profit" Central Public Sector Undertaking working under the administrative control of Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment, Govt. of India, registered under section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013 and has been manufacturing various types of aids & appliances for last 44 years to meet the requirements of the Persons with Disabilities (PwDs), across the country.

This effort will not only bring these underprivileged children to the mainstream of life but will also contribute to national economy.
A similar MoU was earlier signed by AAI with ALIMCO in the year 2016-17 for Rs. 100 lakhs in which AAI had sponsored Cochlear Implant Surgeries for 15 children, out of which 11 surgeries have already been completed successfully and the remaining surgeries will be completed by the end of September 2017.

Tech stocks have seen profits grow double-digits year over year over the last three quarters. A similar winning streak is widely expected this earnings season. And why not? Computer and software makers are having a ball on the back of White House's initiative to trim tax rates, while high-end gaming, emergence of Internet-of-Things (IoT) and automation are driving demand for chips.
Let us, thus, keep an eye on tech stocks that are likely to come up with stellar second-quarter earnings numbers.
More than half of the equity market's gains so far this year have been contributed by tech titans. FAANG stocks, an acronym that refers to Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google-parent Alphabet, have been mostly treading higher of late. Amazon, for example, has climbed more than 50% so far this year, while Netflix has more than doubled.
Ben Carlson, a portfolio manager at Ritholtz Wealth Management, added that Amazon itself accounts for 35% of the S&P 500's year-to-date return and Netflix contributes 21%.
Another tech bellwether Microsoft has lately scaled a record high, hitting the coveted $800 billion market cap for the first time. In fact, the much-loved tech sector rallied 14% so far this year, while the S&P 500 went up just 4.2%.
Tech heavyweights continue to influence the U.S. stock market for good reason. The Republican tax overhaul policy is providing the much-needed windfall to tech companies. The headline-grabbing move lowered the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, while any income brought back from overseas is taxed 8% to 15.5%, instead of the current 35%. This extra cash is helping the companies pursue a combination of share buybacks, dividend payouts and M&A activities.
The prospect of a cut in personal taxation is also a major driving force for big tech firms. With more cash in hand, investors have more room to invest. At the same time, IoT, which connects various devices to the cloud, is expected to be a huge growth driver for tech majors.
Chip makers, in the meantime, made giant strides as chips are in demand for some of the fastest growing tech industries in the world like e-sports and crypto mining. E-sports, a multiplayer video game for professional gamers, need thousands of semiconductor chips for production. These chips are an essential part of crypto mining as they provide the processing power needed for decoding blockchain algorithms.
As tech companies continue to dominate the equity market, analysts expect tech earnings to be up 23.8% on 10.7% higher revenues in the second quarter, which would follow 31.1% earnings growth on 13.1% revenue rise in the first quarter.
But, there are concerns for them this earnings season. Tech valuations mostly remain at elevated levels compared to the broader equity market. Needless to say, trade war issues can also affect its global supply chain.
Most investors are forecasting big gains from chips and big tech companies this earnings season on the back of favorable government policy. This calls for investing in five tech stocks, which are expected to report a significant uptick in second-quarter earnings.
Turtle Beach Corporation HEAR operates as an audio technology company. The company has a Zacks Rank #1. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for its current-year earnings increased 4.1% over the last 60 days. It is expected to report earnings results for the quarter ending June on Aug 9.

Martin Luther King (also known as Martin Luther King Jr.) was a civil rights activist. He wanted black people in the United States to have equal rights to those of white people, as black people in the USA couldn't vote, go to the same school as white people. Before he started campaigning for equal rights, he was a Christian minister.
Martin Luther King Jr (his name was originally Michael, but his father changed their names to Martin Luther after a tour around Europe) was born on the 15th January 1929.
Martin's father was an assistant pastor at the Ebenezer Baptist Church. During his childhood, he and his brother and sister would read out the Bible. His grandmother would tell happy stories from the Bible to her grandchildren.
He became friends with a white boy that had a father who owned a business near Martin's home.
"I Have A Dream" speech
His most famous speech was his "I Have A Dream" speech, where he described his vision of equality and freedom for all:
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
Excerpt of Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" speech, 28th August 1963
On 3rd April 1968, he delivered a speech at Mason Temple, the global headquarters of a Christian organisation called "Church of God in Christ". Afterwards, he went to Room 306 at the Lorraine Hotel in Memphis. Martin Luther King often stayed in that same room whenever he came to the hotel.
At 6.01pm the next day, he was shot whilst standing on the balcony. The nearby St. Joseph's Hospital tried doing emergency chest surgery, but it didn't work and he died just over an hour later.
The assassination resulted in multiple "race riots" in several major US cities, including Louisville, Baltimore and Washington D.C.
Not In The Curriculum box (What is this?)
During his childhood, his younger brother slid from a banister and hit their grandmother, who fell unconscious. Martin believed she was dead and threw himself out of a second-story window because he thought that it was his fault.

Europe misses out on 32GB PS Vita cards
By Edwin Kee, on 12/23/2011 06:30 PST
Yes, we do know that Sony's latest handheld console, the PS Vita, has a rather commendable launch lineup, and one of the must-have accessories for this particular device would be the PS Vita memory card which stubbornly retains Sony's love for proprietary formats. Basically, without a memory card for the PS Vita, you might as well not play any game since there is no where else to save it, and you cannot just pull an SD memory card from your digital camera or notebook and use it here. In fact, demand for the PS Vita memory cards have been extremely high, that they are already selling out in Japan (the 32GB version in particular since that makes the most sense to purchase), having been confirmed for a US launch as well.
As for those living Down Under and across the pond, you will be missing out on the 32GB cards as the PS Vita arrives on your respective continents next February. According to a Sony representative on the PlayStation Blog, "at this time we are not planning to launch with the 32GB PS Vita Memory Card". I guess grey imports would be the order of the day, then.

In Eartham, cottages cluster around the great house (now a school), the village pub and the church. In the 19th century it was a centre of literature and art. The poet, William Hayley, invited celebrities of the time to Eartham House, including Cowper, Flaxman, Blake, Romney, Hurdis and Charlotte Smith. A more bizarre claim to fame is commemorated in the church: the first recorded death by locomotive. Statesman and Eartham resident, William Huskisson, looked the wrong way and was killed at the opening of the Liverpool & Manchester Railway.
Madehurst is a hamlet of largely 19th century estate cottages set in beautiful countryside of woods and fields. The ancient Church contains one of the oldest bells still being regularly rung – it was installed on the 100th anniversary of the Domesday Book.

Local authority funding for 2017-18 announced by Welsh Government and its decent news for Flintshire
This article is old - Published: Wednesday, Oct 19th, 2016
The Secretary for Finance and Local Government Mark Drakeford AM has announced the funding levels for each council in Wales.
For the first time first since 2013-14 there has been an overall increase, Flintshire has seen a modest rise 0.1% versus neighbouring Wrexham who have had 0.5% slashed from their funding.
Local government will see an increase in its funding for 2017-18 of £3.8 million compared to 2016-17. The settlement includes £25 million to support the delivery of strong social services which are vital to the long-term success of the health service in Wales.
This additional funding recognises the growing pressures which social services face.
It also takes account of Welsh Government's agreement with Plaid Cymru to provide local government with an additional £25 million through the settlement to support the delivery of vital services, as well as providing £1 million for school transport and £3 million for a pilot scheme to support town centre car parking.
Capital funding for 2017-18 amounts to £442 million, with General Capital funding for 2017-18 unchanged at £143 million. This means that councils will be able to press ahead in building new schools, improving local roads and providing vital infrastructure.
The Local Government Secretary also today published as much information as possible about other Welsh Government grant schemes planned for 2017-18. This identifies a further £650 million of funding for key priorities and will assist local authorities in preparing their budgets for next year.
Another essential component of the provisional settlement is the funding for Council Tax Reduction Schemes. Maintaining the funding through the settlement at £244 million will ensure local government is able to continue to provide vital support to nearly 300,000 of our most vulnerable families.
Announcing the provisional settlement, Mark Drakeford said:
"The aim of this provisional settlement is to give local authorities the stability to manage the difficult decisions that lie ahead.
"We know that councils are delivering their services against a backdrop of austerity and this settlement provides a platform from which to plan for harder choices which will lie ahead.
"The changes we are implementing this year are based on the advice of an expert group comprised of local authorities and independent specialists.
"The package also includes additional funding to implement a minus 0.5% funding floor which limits the impact on councils that would have seen the biggest reductions in their core funding.
"As a result, this is the first cash increase in the local government settlement since 2013-14. Under the funding floor, no council will have to manage on less than 99.5% of the cash provided to them last year. When added to the other sources of income available to them, many councils will be able to increase their spending next year.
"Within the overall settlement, councils will also receive £25 million in recognition of the importance of strong local social services and the growing pressures felt by this service.
"This is a stable settlement in challenging times and will allow local government to set sustainable budgets despite constraints on public finances."

These new Chandos recordings present Valeri Polyansky and the Russian State Symphony Orchestra in two little-known Russian operas of the early twentieth century, Sergei Rachmaninov's The Miserly Knight (1905), and César Cui's A Feast in Time of Plague (1900), the latter recorded for the first time. Each work is a setting of one of Alexander Pushkin's Little Tragedies (1830), a series of four short plays in blank verse that elaborate on popular literary topics: "Don Juan, or The Stone Guest," "The Miserly Knight," "Mozart and Salieri," and "A Feast in Time of Plague." Sharply penetrating psychological portraits of people consumed by their obsessions – passion, greed, jealousy, and fear – Pushkin's "dramatic scenes" have enjoyed a near cult status among the classics of Russian literature over the past 175 years. So has the first attempt to set one of them to music – a radical 1869 word-for-word setting of The Stone Guest by Alexander Dargomyzhsky (1813-69). Cast almost entirely as a continuous arioso, the work was proclaimed a revolution in operatic style by the Russian Five whose unbridled enthusiasm contributed to its enduring reputation.
The example of The Stone Guest inspired other Russian composers to set the remaining Little Tragedies in a similarly continuous declamatory style. Rimsky-Korsakov chose Mozart and Salieri, a retelling of an old legend that presents both a brilliant portrait of the power of jealousy, and a thoughtful meditation on the nature of genius. The remaining two Tragedies were claimed by the aging César Cui (1835-1918) and his younger colleague Sergei Rachmaninov (1873-1943).
Known primarily for his Schumannesque art songs and piano miniatures, and for his fiery press critiques, Cui was in fact one of the most prolific opera composers among the Russian Five. Overshadowed by Musorgsky, Borodin, and Rimsky-Korsakov's scores, few of his fifteen works in the genre achieved success in his lifetime, and none have remained in the repertoire. Recordings are a rarity; a rediscovery of Cui's operatic legacy, therefore, is long overdue. The choice of a Pushkin "little tragedy" as a source was a natural one for Cui. A Dargomyzhsky acolyte, he was chosen by that composer to complete The Stone Guest left unfinished at his death, and since then took every opportunity to proclaim the work's merits in print.
Following his mentor's example, Cui created a word-for-word setting of A Feast in Time of Plague, without an intervening libretto. The story, adapted by Pushkin from an 1816 dramatic poem by John Wilson (1785-1854), is set in a Renaissance city ravaged by the plague. A group of disparate characters, disregarding the loss of one of their friends and stern admonitions from the local priest, attempt to overcome their fear of death by feasting in its honor. Most of the 31-minute one-act work is cast in continuous "melodic recitative" – a term coined by Cui to describe Dargomyzhsky's approach to text setting. Exceptions (that also have a precedent in The Stone Guest) are two set numbers prescribed in Pushkin's original play: a gentle ballad sung by a prostitute, Mary, who describes the devastation caused by the plague in her native village in Scotland, and "Hymn in Honor of the Plague," defiantly performed by the group's tortured "chairman," Walsingham. Both numbers predate the opera by about a decade: Cui borrowed their material from two of his earlier art songs. The musical style of the opera is eclectic: Dargomyzhskian recitative alternates on the one hand with lyrical melodies in a Tchaikovskian vein, and on the other with impressionistic passages reminiscent of Rachmaninov's writing. The quality of the music is equally uneven: some sections are forgettable, while others are well worth repeated hearing. Polyansky's recording is of good quality; Andrei Baturkin as Walsingham and Ludmila Kuznetsova as Mary are particularly attractive. The recording also features a selection of Cui's art songs, and his Three Scherzos for orchestra. Overall, this new release will make a worthy addition to any Russian music collection.
Sergei Rachmaninov, known to us today primarily for his piano and orchestral scores, started his compositional career with a one-act opera Aleko (1892), which received Tchaikovsky's blessing and premiered as a double bill with the older master's Iolanta. Two more one-act operas would follow: The Miserly Knight and Francesca da Rimini; premiered together as a double bill in 1906, under the composer's baton. The plot of The Miserly Knight, adapted by Pushkin from a tragicomedy The Covetous Knight by an English poet William Shenstone (1714-63), is set in a medieval castle whose owner, the Baron, is consumed by greed that ruins his son Albert and ultimately leads to his own demise. Unlike that of Cui, Rachmaninov's inspiration for setting Pushkin's "little tragedy" did not come from The Stone Guest, but rather from the second work in this unusual operatic "cycle," Mozart and Salieri. Rimsky-Korsakov's opera premiered in December 1898 at the Moscow Private Opera, with the company's star, Feodor Chaliapin as Salieri. A year earlier, Rachmaninov had been engaged as a conductor and pianist at that company; there he befriended Chaliapin, and helped the singer prepare the part of Salieri. The dramatic power of Chaliapin's presentation was foremost in the composer's mind while creating the role of the old Baron in The Miserly Knight; this is especially clear in his gripping monologue in Scene 2 of the opera in which the Baron admires the treasures in his cellar. Interestingly, Chaliapin refused to sing the premiere of Rachmaninov's opera, although he would later perform the Baron's monologue in concert on numerous occasions. The singer's initial reaction elucidates Rachmaninov's approach to text setting that differed substantially from that of his three predecessors. Dargomyzhsky, Cui, and (to a lesser extent) Rimsky-Korsakov had all placed the primary emphasis on the direct setting of Pushkin's verses in vocal declamation, while keeping instrumental accompaniment simple and subservient to the voice. Rachmaninov, for his part, created essentially a sweeping symphonic tableau. Despite the undeniable power of his naturalistic text declamation, the chief musical interest of the opera remains in the continuously developing orchestral fabric. As such, The Miserly Knight represents one of the very few Russian operas in the tradition of Wagner's Ring, as well as Rachmaninov's finest achievement in the operatic genre.
As for Polyansky's recording, Mikhail Guzhov demonstrates an enviable mastery of the Baron's fiendishly difficult part; Vsevolod Grivnov as Albert, and Andrei Baturkin as the Duke do well in their supporting roles. The orchestra, however, does not always rise to the challenges of Rachmaninov's virtuoso score, which detracts somewhat from the pleasure of listening to this forgotten masterpiece. In summary, Rachmaninov's The Miserly Knight is a must for any operatic collection, but the reader might perhaps investigate the 2004 Deutsche Grammophon recording of this work, conducted by Neeme Järvi.

Dycom Industries, Inc. (DY), Matrix Service Co (MTRX): Here is What Hedge Funds and Insiders Think About
Published on September 12, 2013 at 3:25 pm by Abigail Fisher in News
What's a smart Dycom Industries, Inc. (NYSE:DY) investor to do?
At the moment, there are plenty of indicators market participants can use to watch publicly traded companies. Some of the most innovative are hedge fund and insider trading activity. At Insider Monkey, our studies have shown that, historically, those who follow the top picks of the elite investment managers can outclass the broader indices by a superb amount (see just how much).
Just as key, optimistic insider trading activity is a second way to analyze the stock market universe. There are many reasons for an executive to drop shares of his or her company, but only one, very simple reason why they would behave bullishly. Plenty of empirical studies have demonstrated the valuable potential of this tactic if piggybackers understand where to look (learn more here).
Thus, it's important to study the latest info about Dycom Industries, Inc. (NYSE:DY).
How are hedge funds trading Dycom Industries, Inc. (NYSE:DY)?
At Q2's end, a total of 12 of the hedge funds we track held long positions in this stock, a change of 0% from one quarter earlier. With the smart money's capital changing hands, there exists a select group of noteworthy hedge fund managers who were boosting their holdings meaningfully.
When using filings from the hedgies we track, William Harnisch's Peconic Partners LLC had the biggest position in Dycom Industries, Inc. (NYSE:DY), worth close to $50.5 million, comprising 6.7% of its total 13F portfolio. Sitting at the No. 2 spot is D E Shaw, managed by D. E. Shaw, which held a $8 million position; the fund has less than 0.1%% of its 13F portfolio invested in the stock. Other hedgies with similar optimism include Cliff Asness's AQR Capital Management, Ken Grossman and Glen Schneider's SG Capital Management and Richard S. Meisenberg's ACK Asset Management.
Because Dycom Industries, Inc. (NYSE:DY) has faced declining interest from the top-tier hedge fund industry, it's easy to see that there lies a certain "tier" of hedge funds that decided to sell off their positions entirely heading into Q2. Intriguingly, Jim Simons's Renaissance Technologies sold off the biggest position of the 450+ funds we watch, totaling about $0.7 million in stock. Mike Vranos's fund, Ellington, also dumped its stock, about $0.4 million worth. These transactions are interesting, as total hedge fund interest stayed the same (this is a bearish signal in our experience).
Insider trading activity in Dycom Industries, Inc. (NYSE:DY)
Insider buying is best served when the primary stock in question has experienced transactions within the past 180 days. Over the latest half-year time period, Dycom Industries, Inc. (NYSE:DY) has seen zero unique insiders buying, and zero insider sales (see the details of insider trades here).
We'll also examine the relationship between both of these indicators in other stocks similar to Dycom Industries, Inc. (NYSE:DY). These stocks are Matrix Service Co (NASDAQ:MTRX), Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation (NASDAQ:GLDD), Layne Christensen Company (NASDAQ:LAYN), Tutor Perini Corp (NYSE:TPC), and Aegion Corp – Class A (NASDAQ:AEGN). This group of stocks belong to the heavy construction industry and their market caps are similar to DY's market cap.

Video: Tito Ortiz issues apology to Jon Jones, Daniel Cormier following 'disrespectful' comments
Old wrestler has bad takes, The Man buries him
December 24, 2018 admin 0 Comments Bad, buries, Man, Takes, wrestler
Pro wrestling is not unique in having past greats casting judgement on the current generation. Every sport and artform has old heads talking about how the youngsters are doing it wrong, or the game/business has changed for the worse since their day.
With the popularity of wrestling podcasts, it does feel like it's become a cottage industry for retired sports entertainers though. A relatively recent entry into the field is Joe "Road Warrior Animal" Laurinaitis. On the latest edition of his What A Rush podcast, Animal unleashed a flurry of hot takes while reviewing WWE's Dec. 16 TLC pay-per-view (PPV) and the subsequent episodes of Raw and SmackDown which re-introduced the McMahon family as on-screen authority figures.
Some of what he hit on mirrors debates fans are already having. Animal doesn't think the McMahons "New Era" will change anything, found the use of Jim Neidhart in Natalya's feud with Ruby Riott to be disrespectful, questions whether fans buy smaller wrestlers like Tyler Breeze as legitimate threats or draws, and believes audiences aren't into Seth Rollins vs. Dean Ambrose because we've seen the same style of match too many times.
Some of it just weird. He really hates Gallows & Anderson, and hearing Daniel Bryan call himself "The New" irritates the hell out of him.
Animal saved the hottest takes for the women, though, and specifically had a few regarding former SmackDown Women's champion Becky Lynch. These quotes are from WrestleZone's transcription, which also has Laurinaitis' specific comments on the previous topics, too.
"There is a problem in the wrestling business. Yes, the women's movement is growing, but when the women are the main event and they have the best matches on your card, there's an issue.
If the McMahons are really listening to the fans and they want to do what they have to do to make the fans happy, you have got to have a line drawn in the sand on who the bad guy is and who the good guy is. That's what the fans want. They want someone to believe in. They want someone to cheer. They want someone to boo. They want someone to hate. You can't change the wrestling business that's been based for 150 years on this kind of principle. Now all of a sudden you have good guy vs good guy. Come on, they want to have a line drawn in the sand because when you make it too confusing for them they can't cheer for Asuka in the same way and all of a sudden cheer for Becky Lynch in the same match. You just can't do it and it ends up making the match horrible.
I would let her [Lynch] back off of 'The Man' thing and let her just be a pure white meat babyface that doesn't quit. Those are the kind of babyfaces that work. When you come out there with the attitude and strutting your stuff like she's some kind of tough guy, come on! Jesus, Lord, anybody that's ever been in a fight can see right through it and I'm just being realistic because that's what works in this business. You've got to think shoot and work the shoot and right now they're not taking advantage of their stars who are stars."
We can wonder if Joe thought when Ronda Rousey was main eventing for UFC and making the company huge money it was a bad sign for their business. Lower ratings trends and drops in the number of live event tickets sold started for WWE before the "Women's Evolution". And the notion that fans won't buy an antihero character, or get invested in a match where there are reasons to root for either wrestler… I guess he missed the whole Stone Cold Steve Austin thing, and his WrestleMania headling rivalry with The Rock.
We could type up those responses, sure. Or we could just do what The Man did:
I like her way better.

Il crioprecipitato è un emoderivato preparato dal plasma sanguigno. Uno dei componenti più importanti è il fattore VIII, motivo per cui il crioprecipitato è talvolta chiamato fattore anti-emofiliaco crioprecipitato. In molti contesti clinici, l'uso del crioprecipitato intero è stato sostituito con l'uso di concentrati di fattori della coagulazione da esso derivati.

Per creare il crioprecipitato, il plasma fresco congelato viene scongelato a 1-6 °C, viene quindi centrifugato e il precipitato viene raccolto; il precipitato viene risospeso in una piccola quantità di plasma residuo (generalmente 10-15 mL) e viene quindi ricongelato per la conservazione. Può essere conservato temperature di a -18 °C o ancora minori, per 12 mesi dalla data di raccolta originale. Dopo lo scongelamento, singole unità (o unità raggruppate con metodo sterile) possono essere conservate a 20-24 °C per un massimo di 6 ore; non può essere nuovamente congelato per la conservazione dopo essere stato scongelato, se non viene trasfuso.

Il cross-match non è necessario e tutti i gruppi AB0 sono adatti per la trasfusione a tutti i pazienti.

CD Projekt RED Takes Shots at DRM in The Witcher 3; Promotes GOG
By Fahad Arif
CD Projekt RED, the studio responsible for one of the most excellent open world action role-playing video game series of all-time, is a well-known, stalwart opponent of Digital Rights Management system that is used to protect video games and media content from online piracy. Not only the developer has kept its latest RPG The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt DRM-free, but it also uses the game to poke fun at the use of DRM.
The Witcher 3 In-Game Book Pokes Fun at DRM - Describes How it Can be Bypassed Using GOG
There's a book in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt that takes shots at DRM by talking about its practice and how to use GOG to bypass it. As you can see in the image shared above, which was sent to Kotaku by a player, there is a book that you find in-game titled Gottfried's Omni-opening Grimoire (GOG). It discusses the subject of the Defensive Regulatory Magicon, readily shortened to DRM. If you can't read the text properly in the image provided above; here it is:
The Defensive Regulatory Magicon (or DRM for short) belongs to the above-mentioned group of the longest-lasting, most effective and hardest to break defensive mechanisms. In order to recognize the individual administering it, it makes use of a portal mounted at the entrance of the area it is to defend. This portal passes streams of magical energy through the body of the person entering and can, in the blink of an eye, determine if this person has the corporeal signature (eyeball structure included) of the entitled administrator. As a result, the only unauthorized individuals that can possibly hope to enter are mimics.
DRM thus makes for an extremely effective and near-unbreakable security measure - but you are in luck, for you hold in your hands the key to bypassing it, namely the present tome, Gottfried's Omni-opening Grimore, or GOG for short. In the pages to follow you will find innumerable methods for deactivating DRM, or, even better, bypassing it altogether (…)
This is what the book has to say about DRM. Of course, this an ingenious gesture to fans who are aware of DRM and GOG. Those who don't have much know-how about what Digital Rights Management is would likely not find the book's contents to be noteworthy.

The girls visit a special effects production house where their challenge is to bring a video game character to life. The winner gets to create her own signature taunt that will be featured in Naughty Dog Production's "Uncharted 3" video game. Then, the girls step back in time at an old train museum for a steam punk photo shoot, where they mix Victorian fashion with 19th century mechanics and a temperamental co-star... a live owl!


Patriots player Julian Edelman posted on Twitter Tuesday evening encouraging fans to donate to the victims of the Hampstead, New Hampshire fire.
According to the Union Leader, the fire broke out Sunday night at the Ward family's home on Jack Rabbit Run.
It only took about half an hour for the fire to destroy the entire house, leaving Jon Ward and his children Kate, Sam, and Jackson homeless.
The Wards lost their mother Monica in 2014 to a battle with cancer, making the holidays already a difficult time for the family.
Jon Ward told necn that Edelman's retweet of the GoFundMe page "has boosted support" and he can't believe "Edelman stepped out in the limelight" for the family.
In total, over four days, two GoFundMe pages have raised more than $70,000 for the family.
"It's almost like a wave, and it's sort of just picking us all up and carrying us to shore," Kate Ward said.

Otto Wagner – Die Baukunst unserer Zeit
Wagner, Otto 1914
Wagner, Otto.
Die Baukunst unserer Zeit. Dem Baukunstjünger ein Führer auf diesem Kunstgebiete. 4. Auflage.
Wien, Anton Schroll 1914.
(2), 138, (2)pp with 138 illustrations. 25,5 x 20 cm. Original limp cloth.
Fourth edition. Otto Wagner (1841-1918) proposed a new style which would have no truck with historicism. His 'Modern Architektur' reads like a declaration inaugurating the architecture of the twentieth century. Hanno-Walter Kruft, Architectural theory: from Vitruvius to the present, London 1994, pp.320-322.
Otto Wagner´s 'Moderne Architektur' appeared in four editions between 1896 and 1914. His textual changes to the second edition of 1898 were slight; in both the third and fourth editions of 1902 and 1914 respectively, they are mor extensive. In the fourth edition Wagner added two new chapters and gave the book a new title 'Die Baukunst unserer Zeit'.
Wagners 'Moderne Architektur' is one of a handful of books in the literature of architecture whose appearance not only created a sensation but also presaged a revolution. Part textbook, part professional breviary, part polemical tract. It was the first modern writing to make a definitive break with the past, outlining an approach to design that has become synonymous with twentieth-century practice. Historically, however, it may be more accurate to view the work as the culmination of nineteenth-century efforts to create a new style. Harry Francis Mallgave. Otto Wagner, Modern Architecture, A guidebook for his students to this field of art. Introduction and translation by Harry francis Mallgrave. Santa Monica 1988. Published by The Getty Center for the History of Art and the Humanities.
Nice copy, only the spine is slightly rubbed at the edges and the metal staple binding is a bit rusty.


I'm just getting back into the old 'Sat' game after relocating over to Spain a few years back and have lost touch a bit with current 'goings on' !!
I have just secured an Echostar dsb880 (2ci) for 160 Euro's and I am steering a little towards the matrix reloaded cam and Titanium card.
Will I need to have the receiver patched?
Also, I intend to motorise my 1.1m dish and trust this will suffice for the majority if not all req sats / transponders?

Founded in 2005, the ministry of ICMS began with Canadian Christians traveling around the world. During their travels, these private individuals witnessed great poverty and a desperate need for a Saviour. They discovered that by spending relatively small amounts of North American dollars, they were able to influence great physical and spiritual change. They created ICMS to facilitate their mission objectives.
Today, ICMS provides, within an agency framework, direction and control to more than seventy expressions of our missional focus in over forty countries around the world. From Bible schools and orphanages, to self-help, literacy and feeding programs, ICMS ensures that projects are managed according to a strict set of guidelines.
ICMS is a registered charity in Canada with Canada Revenue Agency and in the US with the Internal Revenue Service. In this capacity we carefully review and undertake projects that fit within our missional objectives on behalf of both Canadian and American donors, and provide appropriate direction, control and oversight to each.
We strive to meet all legal and regulatory matters relating to the operations of Christian Charities in Canada and the United States.
ICMS is a registered Canadian and US Christian non-profit charitable organization operated by volunteers, and funded by friends like you!
ICMS ministers in over 40 countries around the world. From Bible schools to orphanages, from self help, literacy and feeding programs. ICMS ensures that projects meet high standards of accountability and Christian witness.

How to Decide if Renters Insurance Is Right for You.
One of the primary characteristics of renting property is sharing building space with other tenants. Now, that can be a great thing if your neighbors are friendly, responsible adults like you are. But what if that's not the case? As a renter, you're often subject to every bad decision your neighbors make. They throw a house party at 3:00 a.m. on a weekday—you get to share in the fun. They leave their oven on for the weekend—you hope they didn't leave the gas on, too.
Renters Insurance is a relatively inexpensive way to protect your personal property from the dangers of renting. But how do you know if Renters Insurance is right for you? Fortunately, there's a simple test you can do to see if you're a good candidate for Renters Insurance. The test is this: if you're asking whether or not you need Renters Insurance, then you probably need Renters Insurance.
Why pay for Renters Insurance?
Most renters have a mistakenly low view of Renters Insurance. In fact, only about 30% of renters claim to have purchased a Renters Insurance policy. Like most other types of insurance, you could pay into Renters Insurance year after year and never need it. But ask yourself this simple question: if all your personal property was destroyed right now, could you afford to buy it back on your own?
With Renters Insurance, you can protect your personal property from damage or theft for less than $200 a year! That's a pretty marginal fee compared to most regular rental costs. And when you start to calculate the cost to replace everything currently in your possession, that number gets a whole lot smaller. Got a neighbor who likes starting campfires in his living room? With Renters Insurance, you've got nothing to fear—well, except the actual fire.
But let's flip the situation around now. What if it's not your neighbor who causes the damage, but you? Maybe your bathtub overflowed and damaged the apartment below. Now you're facing a liability lawsuit. If you lose, you could find yourself responsible for some pretty hefty charges. Fortunately, your Renters Insurance can cover those damages, too, up to the liability limit in your policy.
Won't I be covered by my landlord's policy?
While many renters may think they're covered by their landlord's insurance policy, that's rarely the case. Most landlords take out what's known as rental insurance, as opposed to regular homeowners insurance. In the event of damage, this insurance will cover the rental structure itself but not the tenants' property. So if a tree falls through the roof destroying your rental home, the house is covered. But the big screen TV and your favorite parka? Those are on you.
So you're saying I should get Renters Insurance?
That's exactly what I'm saying. For anyone renting a home or apartment, Renters Insurance is a no brainer. Renters Insurance policies can vary, so contact your Pekin Insurance agent to find out which policy is right for you. Get the protection you need now. Don't wait until it's too late.
